GIGGS BOSUN COLLIDER

Yeah, I met GiggsHe was a bosun wasn’t he?Plying the East India routeYeah, that’s right Rebooting the particle smasher he was.I saw him doing it once;Not much scope for that kind of malarkey out hereI thought at the time.And what did the rebooting do?What did it find?Nothing that I could see.Maybe because there was something else on his mind
And now they call it the Bosun Giggs Collider.
Large Haddock Collider, I think you will find
So what happened to Giggs?
Giggs? Oh he disappeared somewhere in the South China Seas.
Now he tells me! Do you mind if I sing?
If I die tonight just bury me In my favourite yellow patent leather shoes With a mummified cat and a cone-like hat ‘Cos I’ve got the Giggs Bosun Blues…
